"What if?" concept from 1995: Spoiler 2020 LA Rams: For fun, the accompanying text: Spoiler Some great nuggets here. "The only thing postponing skin-tight bodysuits is public acceptance." Vacuum-sealed uniforms? A heads-up-display for the plays on visors would be kind of cool. It could be a simple or complex as you want it to be. Step-by-step instructions for receivers running their routes for the play called. Telemetry to help ballcarriers take the best angles based on the defenders' positioning. QBs could have the play showing which receivers are breaking open. Defenders could have similar telemetry on board to level the playing field, with similar feedback for the angles they are taking, and alerts for things like the ball is in the air, sacks, fumbles, interceptions, etc. This technology wouldn't have a place in the NFL or CFB, but would be interesting for a league like the XFL to try someday as a way of differentiating themselves. "In 3 strides, make a hard left cut at a 60 degree angle..." My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

If you’re a professional football player, and you practice four days a week, I’d hope you wouldn't need step by step instructions on how to run plays. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Oh I'd hope so, but maybe that's why they are in the XFL. Kidding. I've seen Philip Rivers screaming at his receivers enough to know it still happens. Maybe the vets wouldn't need it, but rookies could step in more quickly and contribute. Or it could simply be used as a training device in those practices to sharpen their routes for gamedays. It could also open up the potential for more complex route trees in general. Aside from that, they could also run an instant no-huddle offense. Just line up and immediately run the next play. I don't know, probably all dumb. But I just find it interesting to think of the possibilities. Augmented reality visors could be awesome. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 You could actually see a detriment to using route goggles. We hear a lot about broken plays, and I'm assuming sticking to the directions in front of your face might inhibit your ability to improvise or respond to blown coverage. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 What if you could hack them, and get some idiot receiver to run straight out of bounds or even backwards? Or trick the QB into throwing right to a defender?

Now they won’t have to wait until they get to the sideline to be chewed out mercilessly for dropping a pass! The visor chyron can inform the player in the huddle that he’s a worthless piece of :censored: who is asking to be cut if he doesn’t get his act together. I’m sure it could work the other way too, but that’s less interesting. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

dbofox Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Simple tweaks to the shoulder caps on the road make this a lot better. As for the numbers it just seemed to me like the built in lines were looking for a color contrast to be consistent with the 'split horn' look. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I just wanted to see what it would look like. *Edit - tweaked the gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
